COVINGTON, KENTUCKY (FOX19) - A volunteer middle-school football coach from Holy Cross School has been charged with sexual abuse.

Thomas Hansman, 27, was arrested on August 21 following charges of sexual abuse and using electronic communications to induce a minor to engage in sexual activity. Police say Hansman sexually abused a young girl.

The Diocese of Covington has released a statement saying that Hansman was immediately removed from the volunteer position following the incident.

Diocesan policy is that all employees and volunteers must be trained in a safe environment program. Hansman completed the program, according to diocesan officials.

Hansman has since been released on a $5,000 bond.
